@Dear Mark,
Yes, it’s true. There is no Guest Network function when working on the Access Point mode.
“Hello, I’ve purchased one AX3000, I want to setup it as Access Point, not as router, I’ve read that is not possible setup a wifi for guest or setup additional SSID, is it true?
Thanks and regards,”

“Add vlan support for the routers. Or give ssh access so the users can create their own VLANs. Dont limit the usage of the routers”

@Dear naz,
Yes, the LAN ports are still work. You can connect the devices to the LAN ports to share the network.
For WR3000, the main difference is that it uses the 16MB Flash. Other routers use 128MB Flash. Then WR3000 has to delete some functions, such as IPSec VPN, DNS over TLS, Zerotoer VPN etc. Other routers support all of these functions.
